Emissions of vehicles represent a significant contribution to environmental pollution along roads. Pollutants from cars include gases such as (NOx, CO, CO2), solid components such as sort particles from exhaust system, ...

The Neoarchaean Tati granite–greenstone terrane occurs within the southwestern part of the Zimbabwe craton in NE
Botswana. It comprises 10 intrusive bodies forming part of three distinct plutonic suites: (1) an earlier ...

Average one-dimensional P and S wavespeed models from the surface to depths of 800 km were derived for the southern
African region using travel times and waveforms from earthquakes recorded at stations of the Kaapvaal and ...

Two main Mesoproterozoic provinces occur in southern Namibia: (1) The high-grade Namaqua Metamorphic Complex (NMC) composed
of a supracrustal sedimentary succession and interpreted as a passive margin sequence in the west ...

Biltong is a dried ready to eat meat product that is produced and consumed to a large extent in
Botswana. A study was undertaken with the objective of determining the microbial quality and
isolating and identifying the ...

A mineralogical investigation of duricrust suites in Letlhakeng valley, and five pans around
Jwaneng in Botswana was undertaken in order to know the mineral assemblages and infer on their landscape formation. In Letlhakeng, ...

This study set out to establish the major minerals at Dorowa and determine which of those are likely to host metals that may leach into surface and groundwater. This study comes after a preliminary assessment of the water ...

A 1.6-kb DNA fragment isolated from a Campylobacter concisus genomic library gave C. concisus-specific restriction
fragment length patterns when it was used as a probe in hybridization studies. All of the strains ...

This paper describes the maternity monitoring system in Botswana, developed in 1998,
and the main methods used: maternal death and morbidity reviews at service delivery level, analysis
by the National Maternal Mortality ...

We study the equivalence property of the I- and II-L-Radon-Nikodým property (resp. I- and II-L-complete continuity property) types of Banach spaces. As a by-product, we obtain a proof of the following: F. Lust-Picard’s ...

Harpagophytum is bitypic and native to Southern Africa. Its two species are Harpagophytum
procumbens and H. zeyheri. H. procumbens is medicinal. A reliable method of identifying the species is through its fruit. However, ...

The presence of fungi, aflatoxins and fumonisin B1 in cassava and yam chips (during 28 processing and storage) were evaluated during two
consecutive seasons in two agroecological zones of Benin (Northern Guinea Savannah, ...

This paper presents the results of nanoindentation experimental studies of the contact-induced deformation in Au and Ag thin films. The paper
examines the effects of film thickness and substrate deformation restraint on ...

The objective of the study was to investigate the role played by the natural environment in protecting the
transboundary Save River from the impacts of metals derived from phosphate mining at Dorowa. The
study is a follow ...

Studies on concentrations of primordial radionuclides in soil samples of Botswana were carried out.
Measurements were made by gamma spectrometry employing a 41% relative efficiency HPGe detector.
